SOMA – Marz Tactical

Saturday, December 15th, 2012

This is really more of a teaser for the new MultiMode IFAK from Marz Tactical. Officially launched at SHOT Show, the MultiMode IFAK can be mounted to a vest or carried in a pocket, or carried around the neck for a mass trauma event. It’s quite versatile but we don’t want to spoil the surprise.

Contents are slightly different based on which model you select. The big difference is the inclusion of the Quick Clot sponge rather than the Combat Gauze for organizations that must use the sponge.

DS Tactical Blow Out Pouch

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

Designed with ERT/SWAT members in mind, the DS Tactical Blow Out Pouch can be worn on a duty belt (up to 2-1/4″) as well as PALS compatible equipment via MALICE clips. The tear away pouch holds a CAT Tourniquet on the outside, just under the flap for quick access and accommodates up to a 6″ Israeli bandage inside the pouch as well as other items in the internal mesh pocket.

The pouch features pile tape on the top for Blood Type/Medical Patches.

The DS Tactical Blow Out Pouch is available in the US through Amendment Arms.

USMC Corpsman Assault System Presolicitation

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

The Marine Corps strikes again. This time it’s the USMC Corpsman Assault System which relies on a government owned design. So far the Marines have done this with several items including the IMTV and the USMC Pack. It means that commercial gear companies don’t have a shot at getting their designs into the hands of Marines and the issue equipment is designed by committee.

About a year ago, MARCORSYSCOM issued an RFI for production of a Corpsman Assault System consisting of:

Corpsman Assault System
Medical Assault Pack, CAS
Shoulder Harness Assembly, CAS
Shoulder Harness Pocket Assembly, CAS
Handle Assembly, CAS
Medical Sustainment Bag, CAS
Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Belt, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Strap, Upright, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Strap, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Modular Medical Pouch, CAS
Narc Pouch, CAS
Medium Pouch, CAS
Large Pouch, CAS
Small Reversible Pouch, CAS
Medium Reversible Pouch, CAS
Elastic Panel, CAS
Double Pocket Panel, CAS
Stacked Pocket Panel, CAS
Triple Pocket Panel, CAS

I’m surprised it took a year for this to actually hit the pre-solicitation stage but the Marine Corps has done a very good job of keeping an eye on the programmatics side; synching dollars and programs. They know where their money is and when to spend it.

The Marines know what they want and are giving interested parties a heads up that they plan on buying up to 10,000 of these systems. Specifically, they want offerors to be able to produce at least 8,585 Corpsman Assault Systems within ten (10) months of contract award.

Patterns are available in the documentation for those interested in bidding. Feel free to read the whole thing at www.fbo.gov.
